I have already seen them all, recently and a long time ago. I even owned them on VHS once.
I used to have some of the movies in VHS but the series I never had the need to own them back then because they were airing every week and it was still ongoing. Nice to hear you have watched them recently too. :D
Wouldn't trust anywhere from Ocarina of Time. You seen what's under Kakariko Village? And Hyrule Castle Town burns to the ground.
Hahaha. I hadn't considered that about the well... and cursed house... and the graveyard... and Kakariko being located just at the foot of an active volcano... Man, I should really reconsider my choices here. 
I mean, once everybody else is dead I'm free to begin a trading empire that will pretty quickly outstrip the feeble economy of...whatever you call Wind Waker's world.
AND you could remove the sea and lead the recolonisation of the revirgined Hyrule. All praise Lord Ganonwalker!
And now the reference in the name Link Skywalker have come to full circle.
However, despite their recent attempts to create a revenue program for content creators that is just as well-thought as YouTube's, despite their new video streaming platforms that competes with Twitch and YouTube Live, and despite the fact that they have invested in creating mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, they don't seem to be increasing in popularity at all.
Chalk that also to the ignorance. People often don't know dailymotion offers this kind of thing so they are not even considered. Oftentimes people talk about how another platform needs to be on the rise, but I honestly think that unless most of the big youtubers migrated out of youtube people will just get their fix there. furthermore, because these YT bigshots have the earnings from the videos as their income source it is very likely they would willingly risk to jeopardise it by moving somewhere else.
Then you have this mentality as well:
if dailymotion had as much activity as YouTube I'd rush over there with my videos in a heart beat. YouTube is screwed up with its copyright crap
Which basically people saying they won't give the first step until all the rest do even if they admit to be uncomfortable with the way YT is going.
Perhaps the thing with DM is that it looks dated. They also are using the things we disliked about the YT changes. Like the "What to watch or who to follow" as the main things instead of simply taking us to our subscriptions. And having video recomendaciones not only on the side but under the comments is annoying. I like they show less comments but you can't really interact with people there.
The weirdest thing is that I've seen some people posting videos in both platforms and I don't see why not. It is not like you should be exclusive to either if producing the video is where most of the headaches comes from. If most people also uploaded to dailymotion it'd give more of a reason to visit. One Mexican Youtuber I follow posts his videos first in dailymotion and then re-releases them in youtube some weeks after. He really would rather to depend on DM if he is giving the preference and if more Youtubers at least did this kind of thing maybe we could shift the tide a bit. For us making the habit of checking DM first and sharing from there more often.
Definitely the Wii U could do with some more popularity but it is kind of late for it. Everybody decided to talk on how it was dead even before it was out for a year. Nintendo didn't help things with the name and their marketing as many people just assumed it was a peripheral for the Wii or an upgrade like the the "new" 3DS was for the Nintendo 3DS.
It also had to do with a lack of friendliness to port games from third parties and the apathy to give it a shot when they had other outlets more readily available. I don't mind another generation with the NNID and the Miis but I would love something completely differently in the console itself. Something that will not be a Wii Something.
With all this said. I think Wii U in itself has been picking up and actually has done better in sales than what the media seems eager to make us believe they are.
I got all 9 seasons, two movies and 3 specials so far
That's pretty cool! Have you binge watched the seasons yet?
1) Is there a difference between justice and revenge?
Yes. Justice is about being just. Revenge is about making someone pay for what they did, in many cases it involves extracting a bigger cost. It is about personal gratification and dominance.
I think revenge and justice get mixed because both are related to fairness. The reason a person feels retaliating is because they don't feel justified the original blow. Since justice is about fairness many people go black and white ona situation and expects an eye for an eye kind of solution to be synonymous with justice.
This reminds me of the King Solomon and the tale taht scared me off as a kid.
I might be a bit off in details but the gist is the following: Two women, one with a baby of a few days old, entered the court of the King to solve their problem. They were living under the same roof they had given birth around the same time but one of the babies had died the night before. The one without the creature claimed to be the real mother and that the other woman had stolen her baby and exchanged for the corpse. The woman with the kid kept assuring to be the real mother and that the first woman was trying to keep her baby because she lost her own. So King Solomon called for a sword and gave the verdict to divide the baby and give a half to each. Soon enough once of the woman cried out for the baby's life and asked to just give the baby to the other woman. Solomon then decided she was the real mother and gave the son to her.
Even though the bible version makes clear she was actually the real mother and the other woman still bitter with her own baby death as being fine with the split verdict, I don't think it is what really matters. We have two people claiming to be the parent and one baby. The way justice is imparted here is that without doubt the baby ended up in the arms of the person that cared for the creature the most. It was never the main point to divide the child but to create a gut response that revealed what kind of feelings they had for the baby. The kid would have a better future that way.
2) Is revenge ok?
I think that in general revenge is a negative mindset because it means you're not moving from situations and letting your pride being your pilot. The bitterness that comes with it is a natural human emotion that would be unhealthy to bottle and ignore. Revenge fantasies are a normal coping mechanism. So in itself the idea of revenge seems to be a part of humanity to me. The intention and severity of the actions moved by revenge are the issue and not the revenge in itself. If said revenge means the harm of one or more individuals then that form of revenge is not okay.
So for example, if killing is wrong, killing for revenge is still wrong.
3) Does punishment work?
I didn't really connect Justice with punishment until the question. I don't think we can answer a contundent yes or a contundent no. It depends on the situation, the punishment and what it is the point of it. Negative reinforcement is one of the reasons you get a punishment and in the basic level it works. You associate the bad action with pain. The problem with this comes that it is not really changing someone's mind on something as mucha s training them to control their impulse toward certain things, or at least is the intention. Punishing a criminal is meant to have them stride away from crime but instead for many the lesson becomes "don't get caught". It does nothing for a person to understand why it was wrong or come to a inner resolution to stop it.
Killing a killer. Is it revenge or justice? Debate has been going on for a long time and I have no clear stance on it being the right or the wrong thing to do. Do you kill the murder to avoid more innocent bloodshed? Do you kill them because it is a life for a life penalty?Do you kill them to show dominance over other people that might be thinking on killing?
Should someone who killed but shows remorse been treated any better than that of an unrepentant one?
I don't know. I just feel taht when I was a kid Justice was a crystal clear black and white situation but as I grew up became this complex things where my beliefs became challenged by books, video games and other media.
I just started buying the BluRay remastered editions (i read that they had the American Faulconer music on them). I just bought the first two seasons roughly 74 episodes. Maybe next Thursday I will get two more, thre are 9 in total.
So... how's your collection going, Link?
Inserting obligatory Iceberg image.
I haven't changed my wallpaper in a while so right now it is just a Tri Force heroes wallpaper and in my mobile Young Link in a red background.
If Termina wasn't doomed that'd be my choice.
My second choice would be Koholint but if you have played LA you know why is out of my list as well.
I guess, I'll go with OoT's Hyrule. I enjoy the minigames. I can go fishing, walking around, checking on the Ranch. It'd be nice living in Kakariko Village.
I don't own enough skinnyjeans and black hair dye to live in Twilight Princess's Hyrule.

I am ignorant of the details on the French Revolution. I might recall a bit more than I give myself credit for, buried with my school years and spanish terms. What I remember is that it was something massive and with different layers that affected different things culture, social classes, laws. I think even literature and other arts got shaped by this. Heck, I am almost sure that their eccho reached Mexico and a lot of the ideals were huge detonators for "new Spain" to decide to fight for their own independance and constitution.
I will take your oversimplifications as comedy and not as serious arguments. :lengua:
That said I will give you my opinion anyway because I know you have used some of the media you're criticising so I think you do believe some of this and it would be nice to have some exchange of opinions on how we see SN, specially Google plus.
Facebook: your mom likes your status, because you know your mom is on facebook, so you can't post anything real there.
Facebook have lists and 3 sets of trust (acquaintance, friend, close friend) so you can really have your family and still have two groups see a different side as you need.
Twitter: Unless you're a comedian, you're going to fall into one of the three categories of useless tweeters: the vapid, the incendiary, and the guy who literally just links to his own youtube videos.
Ouch. The YT-er one I have seen it often, hahah.
I opened my twitter for my community roczuz so I was a lame cyborg account of automated tweets mixed with a few authentic now and there. Now I use it a bit more but I am never constant enough to make any presence. I know taht people taht find me and add me in general are mostly looking for follow backs.
Instagram: Unless you're a photographer or some shit, nobody actually takes enough interesting pictures to maintain a presence. So you're probably posting selfies, pictures of your pets, pictures of your food, or you're a pedant wannabe photographer who takes pictures of the stop sign outside your house with a black and white filter on.
That's a point. I think whatever you post on instagram you could post in any other SN anyway.
tumblr: Nobody actually puts anything on tumblr. They just reblog things that were already on tumblr. Also, it's shockingly difficult to have a meaningful conversation on Tumblr, since you can't message people back and forth. All you can do is reblog things with a comment. Also, obligatory bitching about SJWs.
Reblogging with comment seems to be a good way to have a threaded conversation so I never really minded it. The problem with tumblr is for me the vulnerability. Whatever you post anyone can see, get offended and reblog with their own twist. It'd be nice to be able to have groups. I have a tumblr and I am one of those users taht instead of contributing sometime new I mostly do reblogs. I was hoping to sue it for my stuff but quite frankly I feel once again 'vulnerable' there. i don't trust the platform with my creations.
Now the main point Google Plus:
Google+: PEOPLE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT SHIT. Like, for really real. It's basically just a web forum like this one, updated for the age of social networks. With circles you can control who gets to see your content, and with collections you can separate your content into groups for people to either follow, or not.
Here's the big downside, and the reason everybody thinks google+ is a ghost town: you've gotta actually have something to talk about. If you're just a vapid 20-something who wants to rack up the Internet Points for posting pictures of "feeling sexy today," then you're not going to find a bunch of other vapid 20-somethings to talk to. BUT, if you're the kind of interesting person who actually has a passion in life, you can find people to have a conversation with about that passion.
I think it depends on the people you follow, honestly. I joined Zelda groups and they are these polls and facebook style posts. So I don't really think they stopped just because they have to think about it. I do concede that it is way easier to convey long rants on G+ than in facebook as notes are kind of a side thing taht no one really cares for and the interface of facebook does favour short posts with some media, however while G+ doesn't do this doesn't mean they discourage it. Maybe it is because as a zelda webmaster I have in my circles people generally younger than me being the ones active.
In all honestly I think Google plus is a pretty cool social network but Google annoyed people by changing the YT interface by forcing people uninterested in the G+ part to make an account. That was a very bad start. The layout too gets sometime to get used to it so there is resistance from people who won't give it much of a chance.
I don't like Facebook itself but the one click login through an account is the main reason I have an account. Facebook was good in the beginning but they have been taking off options and it has become more openly geared towards business. It is no longer about connecting with people it is about using peer pressure to persuade you toward certain brands and opinions. Yet people get picky about alternatives. So far G+ seem less direct in their commercial side, so you can actually have the people being the main point rather than if they liked X product or something.
So yeah, we might differing in our reasoning but I agree G+ is the best one of the ones you mentioned. It could do with more support.
I've never seen Animal Crossing, so the comedy here is hit and miss for me. But the animation is pretty damn impressive for a single animator working alone. Hot damn.
I think even with the context the funny element would be hit and miss. However it is not often I find a good flash argument on it. This person drew several of the real residents you can have in your town, tied the Villager called to Smash trailer and gave Isabelle an interesting flaw without being unthinkable. There are many AC details like the emotions you can use and see in the game.
In New Leaf You are the Mayor that walks into the City Hall. Isabelle is your assistant. Everytime you boot the game she 'talks' with you through the game options to start or edit something before starting your file. If you take a while before visiting again your town after the game loads your file she'd say that she filled into your shoes while you were away. So this flash is just a funny take on what would she do on her own.
I randomly found this Animal Crossing New Leaf parody and I thought I had to share it. :XD:
Depends on my mood my profile in SplatNet might give you an idea what I use.
I tend to favour the Octobrush Nouveau and the Dual Squelcher.
I like the Octobrush because it is not as wide as a roller the Nouveau version allows me to use some bombs, which allows me to play close or mid range with ease. In the original one, the sub was the beacons which were also useful but I am a terrible Kraken.
The Dual Squelcher is a far ranged shooter, so it won't take time to charge and you can get rid of people in semi-long range if you get to them before they get to you. Once again their sub is Splat Bombs with is good for mid range and since echolocator helps in no way with inking it lets me forget about filling the main gauge and just inking as much as I can.
I use a few other shooter. I haven't really tried much my hand at rolling as I think I would not be very good at it. I also like the blast shooters in theory but I am terrible with them. I am also lame with chargers as I am not as cool headed as I want to think I am. So I guess that leaves normal shooters and quick brushes for me. :XD:
What about making each color with a single letter depending de color like :g^_^: :b^_^: :r^_^: :v^_^: :d^_^: etc.
Oh, that is not the problem, I already imagined it'd be something like blueX redX and leave green as default. It is just the manually doing it to each of them.
What I meant by the last line was better ideas on how to implement the smilies you already created besides these two ideas. We could been missing the obvious.
Another use I was planning for them, is for the Zelda moods, similar to the ones in the Spanish side of the forum. But we probably should discuss that another time and in another thread. 
Basically Shiro has gone already with the hard work of re-making each expressionof the original emoticons in the other 4 colours. The original idea was that when you opened the smilies box you would have each color in its own category, from where you can mix and match to your heart content in your messages.
The smilies themselves are not a very big file, so it is not the space the issue I might have with the original idea. The thing is that while uploading the images to the server can be done in bulk, I have to manually insert and give a command to each of them. Considering that the expressions are the same and just the hat colour changes, I raised some concern for the idea of having repeats.
So, I commented to @ShiroMZM the skin alternative. I think that I might be able to change the smile set depending the skin. Given the way the folders are layered it might be possible to have a different style carrying different smilies so long the smilie image keep the same name and extension. I have yet to prove this so chances are that won't be possible.
So here is where you come in. Do you like the idea of uploading and using the extra sets of Links?
Should I attempt to do the variation depending the skin?
What do you think?
Maybe you have a better idea on how to implement this.
I ended TFH and in the same day (and because the 20 000 messages on the other side of this place) I just download the first one because I never finished it and... never did nothing really
Congrats. Does that include the free extra dungeons update? If not, are you planning to try them out sometime?
